Rasputin Bar in Florence is a hidden speakeasy known for its candlelit setting, expertly crafted cocktails, and underground exclusivity. For students, it’s the city’s most atmospheric spot to slow down and sip something special.
Across the Arno in the San Frediano district, Rasputin is easy to miss and that’s part of its appeal. Inside, candles light warms the room, jazz hums low, and bartenders craft drinks.
